Culture for Health Compendium
A new health paradigm!
The compendium realized by CultureForHealth, project co-funded by the European Commission, proposes interesting suggestions and useful recommendations about the cultural impact on health and well-being.
Six pilot projects carried out in hospitals, nursing homes, maternal mental health sites, businesses and companies, and laboratories for children and adolescents among disadvantaged communities show us how much it is important to reinforce collaboration and cross-sectoral working for the success of these kind of projects and to obtain strong outcomes in terms of health and well-being of people, also making it possible, through cooperation, to rethink the approach on medical treatments.
This interactive process of continued bottom-up and top-down learning contributes to creating a sustainable cultural process, which makes the idea of health more dynamic and blurs its boundaries, giving importance to culture and to a holistic idea of health.
